OSALP 2002 :

QHSE Audits for Western Atlas

OSALP International audited seismic crews of WesternGeco and Western Atlas. The crew comprised of 1200 persons. It took 4 days for 4 auditors to cover the crew and compile the results. The audit was highly interactive with the auditors going and meeting filtered layers of different levels of management. Laborers were also interviewed, including suppliers and contractors. The client regarded the audit as one of the best in its history of operation. The reason for the recognition was that the OSALP auditors aimed the audit in not only identifying the current status of compliance to HSE but also assisted the client in identifying situations and problems that the client might come across in future. All areas where the client could incur loss (Personal, Information, Security, Asset, Auto and Repute) were identified and given back to the client.

Reward and Recognition Scheme

OSALP recommended a reward and recognition scheme for a multinational client in Pakistan for their operations. The aim was to not only recommend the scheme but to evaluate what actually works for that client and what people wanted. The factors of what works for a Pakistani labor were also considered.

HSE Alerts

OSALP International issued HSE alerts on all of the serious injuries for an oil and gas company in Pakistan. OSALP made those alerts by taking into account what exactly happened, relevant pictures, recreating the scenario and mentioning what could have prevented the accident. OSALP also included the main corrective action items in the alert and then circulated it to 1200 people. The result was that everyone in the organization knew what had happened and was also cautious in their work.
